William and Eliza's had 4 children: Floyd, Grace, Bessie and Clyde. Grace and Bessie each had only one child, both daughters. Grace married a man named (Brock) and had a daughter, Cordelia in 1905. Bessie married Charles Radenbusch Badman and had a daughter, Iris, in 1906. Both Grace's husband and Bessie died around 1914 and Charles Badman and Grace were married a few years later. Their children (Cordelia and Iris) first cousins now were sisters. They lived in Manistee and later moved to Grand Rapids so their daughters could look for work. Hope this helps. If you think there is a connection let me know.
